For this next photoshoot, I am going to be focussing on my two friends’ friendship from a different perspective to the previous photoshoot. This time, I will be looking at their friendship in primary school instead of in sixth form. I will do this by getting my friends to send me any digital photographs they have of them either individually or together from primary school. I will also look through some of their photo albums they have as when they were in primary school, parents tended to use a camera which they would then have to print off the images and then stick them into a book. I will then use my camera to take a photograph of any of the images I wanted to use. I will need to position my lighting and physical photographs in a specific way to ensure I don’t get any glares in my images from the light. To do this, I will not place my light source directly above my image or use natural lighting so that it doesn’t produce as harsh reflections. This use of digital photographs and physical photographs will hopefully allow me to get a good variety of images as I am getting them from multiple sources instead of just one. However, as I am going to be using images taken from a long time ago, the camera quality may not be particularly good which may limit what I am able to do with the images. Therefore, I will most likely not be including these images by themselves in my final piece.

During this photoshoot, I will be looking for images that are of good quality and represent the youth and fun of their friendship in primary school. I will also be trying to photograph images that show their individual personalities and what they like. For example, one of my friends is very confident and this can even be seen in her childhood photographs where she is constantly posing for the camera. On the other hand, my other friend is more shy and nurturing which can be seen as she is often photographed playing or hugging with her sister. I hope my images will be able to portray their varying personalities and demonstrate how special their friendship is as although they are very different people, they are still the closest of friends. Additionally, I am aiming to also get some of the professional school photographs they have and then get them to recreate it later on in the studio to create a visual comparison of how much they have both changed during their 14 years of friendship.
